"In essays, poems, short stories and plays, over seventy black writers, among whom are included Stokely Carmichael, Harold
Cruse, A. B. Spellman, Sun-Ra, Ed Bullins, and the editors themselves, search for a definition of the black sensibility -
the sensibility of a colonialized people waking up to the realities of the contemporary world. Never has there been a book
so revealing of the black man's view of the world and of himself"--Jacket

This documentary charts the life and work of Dizzy Gillespie and Max Roach. It begins with Gillespie teaching students in
the Clark College Orchestra a historically Black college. In one scene we see Gillespie explaining "up-beats" or "and-beats"
to students using hand claps to count time. Gillespie then talks about the importance of Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk.
Interviews with Gillespie are intercut with interviews with Max Roach and then both discuss improvisation and jazz composition.
Roach talks about the history of drumming and drums in African music and in Haiti, Cuba, and Brasil and its modern impact
on bebop, swing, and ragtime. The film was made possible by a grant from the NEH and was produced by Hinton Productions in
association with Clark College. Producer and cinematographer James Hinton began his photographic career while he was an active
participant in the Civil Rights movement in the 1950's. In the late sixties, he turned his skills to commercial film production,
shooting both feature films and documentaries
